Portland International Jetport
I live right next to the airport...I'm on the corner of Powers and Deveraux and as you can see in the pic, there is a small tree line that seperates my house from the Tarmac.
So I see aiplanes taking off and landing all the time. Why live so close to the airport? Well after growing up in NY and moving to NJ I had to sleep with the TV on for a while because I needed the noise. So now that I am here I needed some extra noise...there are no sirens or gun shots or anything. Of course my neighbor has a 2 year old who likes to stomp, but that just provides me with noise when I don't need it.
Anyway...I found some cool websites so I can track the flights...so after I see a plane take off, I can look it up and watch its progress online. Its a shame I can't remotely fly the bad boy ;)
Incidentally, the Sept 11 attacks actually originated here, from what I understand that scumbag Attah came into the US through this airport, a mere 90 minute drive from Logan.
